why is hand 2 a call, and hand 5 a fold? They follow similar concepts and Hand 5 is better conected?

#3 bradomurder, 20 Aug 09 02:07

I would have thought hand 5 was an easier call than hand 2. Anyone?

#4 imontiltdonk, 30 Aug 09 09:41

on hand 5 what do you want to hit. flush or straight low draws easily beat so you either lose stack to big hand or get no action if you do outdraw

because:
- hand 2 can draw to nutflush (hand 5 cant)
- Hand 2 is more likely to hit maxstraight

joe what are you writing about?
at hand we got 2 suited connectors and if we hit a low flop we are most likely on a flush or straight draw,however the quiz says its been reraised 2 times so fold is an option here,depends how you play but i would call with this hand and see what the flop brings
